Chapter 26: Meng Yao Encounters an Ambush

  Seeing Guo Ming's performance, Chen Ziyu has completely lost interest in him. She now even thinks about finding another fake boyfriend. Although Guo Ming's behavior is reasonable, when it really shows up in front of her, she feels extremely uncomfortable in her heart. Humph, can such a person become his own man? Four words - infatuated fantasy.

  Shui Mengyao also felt somewhat disappointed, looking at Guo Ming's eyes which had lost their previous fervor.

  Guo Ming witnessed all of this, and just a moment ago he had decided to continue hiding his abilities. But when Zhang Wenfeng appeared before him, he realized that he had still underestimated the martial artists. Zhang Wenfeng's profound skills were such that even if Guo Ming were to use his full strength now, he would not be able to match him. And yet, Zhang Wenfeng was not even a top expert in his own family. This meant that there must be many experts in the Zhang family who were even more powerful than himself. The thought sent shivers down Guo Ming's spine as he felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.

  The more powerful the law, the more Guo Mingcai discovered that this world was far more complicated than he had imagined. He originally thought that with his current strength, he could roam freely in China, but now he realized that he was just a grain of sand in the mortal world after all. How difficult it was to compete with the vast starry sky! The Great Way, the Great Way, how unfathomable it is!

  Chen Ziyu stood up and said lightly: "Tomorrow I'll wait for you here, dress better when you come, I'm leaving first."

  Guo Ming seemed as if he hadn't heard her words and fell into deep thought.

  Chen Ziyu took a deep look at Shui Mengyao and then left, believing that Shui Mengyao would understand the meaning in her eyes.

  Shui Mengyao coughed dryly and glared at Guo Ming with annoyance, saying in a low voice, "Just now, Zi Yu was talking to you."

  "Uh-huh, I know," Guo Ming nodded.

  Shui Mengyao was speechless, but still reminded him: "Don't forget your promise with Zi Yu, I'll leave first."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Guo Ming's response and stood up to leave. There isn't a girl who doesn't hope that the person she likes is strong and can protect her, but Guo Ming's performance completely shattered her fantasy. Guo Ming's cowardice and timidity were thoroughly revealed today, it turns out he was always just someone who only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong!

  With this in mind, Shui Mengyao left without hesitation, but didn't notice that there were several people with ill intentions behind her.

  When Shui Mengyao bent down to unlock the door, her shoulder was patted once, and when she turned back in annoyance, a piece of sponge cloth covered her nose.

  Shui Mengyao had a terrible thought flash through her mind, 'kidnapping', in the last moment of her daze, she glanced at Guo Ming with her remaining vision, hoping that this glance could be detected by Guo Ming, unfortunately she couldn't see the result, a strong dizzy feeling hit her brain, Shui Mengyao found herself in the arms of a middle-aged man.

  A car came up quickly behind him, and the man holding Shui Mengyao swiftly got into the sedan, saying in a low voice, "Drive fast."

  A Dao is a professional killer, today he was ordered to kidnap the county deputy head's daughter. He didn't hesitate at all, on his hands there were no less than eight lives, in his eyes identity had no role, he only believed in strength, strength decided everything.

  In the last moment when the car started, he still looked at Guo Ming in the cold drink shop. His whole body shook involuntarily as he saw a pair of eyes filled with ferocity, and a strong bad premonition came over him. The next moment, he heard the sound of shattering glass, and from the rearview mirror of the speeding car, he saw Guo Ming covered in shattered glass staring in his direction.

  "Hurry up, faster, faster!" Ah Dao bellowed loudly.

  The entire street was in chaos, no one had expected that Guo Ming seemed to have gone crazy and actually smashed through the extremely strong tempered glass, seemingly still standing easily on the street. The boss wisely did not ask questions but quickly dialed 110.

  Guo Ming suddenly couldn't bear to shock the world, and quickly ran off. As he passed through an intersection, his body mysteriously disappeared and transformed into a transparent water arrow flying forward.

  Gu Shao was lying comfortably on the sofa, with his legs resting on a beautiful young girl. The girl was carefully holding onto him, afraid of provoking this powerful underworld boss. Gu Shao's background and identity were unknown, but as soon as he arrived in Lin Ze County, he caused a stir, taking down several smaller forces with ease. Now, he had become the top force in Lin Ze County.

  Since the day he saw Shui Mengyao, he couldn't forget her, but he was never a rash person. He understood that this society was far more complicated than he had imagined, and a girl like Shui Mengyao was absolutely not something an ordinary family could cultivate. So after inquiring about it, he secretly planned for a long time before taking action.

  As soon as he thought of the pure and beautiful Shui Mengyao, his heart felt a wave of heat. Just then, Zhou Hao knocked on the door with a gloomy face, Gu Shao quickly put away his thoughts, sat up straight, and said in a loud voice: "Come in." He had a high opinion of Zhou Hao, this young man was brave and daring, if he was properly trained, he would definitely become a reliable person.

  Zhou Hao's heart was filled with wave after wave of fear, and when he heard A Dao's report, a strong sense of crisis constantly attacked his mind. Who could shatter tempered glass without getting hurt and still run quickly? At least in this regard, he himself was absolutely not such a strong person.

  "Boss, I'm afraid we've offended someone we shouldn't have," Zhou Hao said directly.

  "What's going on?" Gu Shao's face changed, and he quickly stood up. This wasn't because he couldn't calm down, but rather because he knew Zhou Hao wouldn't casually say something so serious. Since Zhou Hao said it, then things were indeed somewhat severe.

  Zhou Hao recounted the events, Gu Shao fell into deep thought and remained silent, pacing back and forth on the spot. After a moment, he spoke to Zhou Hao in a low voice: "Strengthen our defenses and recall the four great golden card assassins. Hmph, I, Gu Shao, have never truly feared anyone. I don't believe he dares to charge into the dragon's lair alone."

  Zhou Hao's body shook as he looked at Gu Shao's eyes, which no longer held the same unwavering determination. He had not expected Gu Shao to stake all of the gang's power on a single woman, which was clearly not something a leader should do. Zhou Hao couldn't help but feel disappointed and a hint of disillusionment arose in his heart. This wasn't because Zhou Hao was someone who easily changed allegiances, but rather that if one's trust was misplaced, then what was the point of continued loyalty?

  "Well, this is the last thing I'll do for you," he sighed inwardly, and Zhou Hao turned to leave.

  Shui Zhongming sat quietly in his office, staring at the documents in his hand. Suddenly, a flash of anxiety crossed his mind, and he looked around blankly. After realizing everything was normal, he stood up and walked to the window, gazing out at the cars flowing like a river outside. It was then that he suddenly remembered his own career path. From being the lowest-ranking government official, he had risen to become the deputy county head, and according to the mayor's intentions, he would soon become the County Party Secretary of Linze County. Was all this really what he wanted? Shui Zhongming knew that everything was due to his wife's influence; she was a high-ranking official in the province, and her father was even a minister in the central government. Even if he had no achievements, he would still be promoted step by step.

  I'm afraid that after serving as the county party secretary for a few years, I will be promoted to the city. I really don't want to live this kind of puppet life! It's been several days since I saw Meng Yao, and after I finish this investment promotion project, I must go back home to see her. I estimate that she will still have tears in her eyes at that time. As soon as he thought of his daughter's appearance, a comforting expression flashed across Shui Ming's face. As for his wife, he didn't have much affection for her. After all, not many men like a strong-willed woman, and he is no saint.

  At this time, his mobile phone rang. When he saw the number on it, Ming's face changed. His daughter told him that she had been targeted by underworld forces and he had sent his good friend and classmate to secretly take care of Shui Mengyao. Normally, she would never call him easily. Thinking of the unease in his heart earlier, he quickly pressed the answer button, and a anxious voice came from inside, "Ming, something's happened to Mengyao."

  Dizzy for a moment in his mind, he took a few deep breaths in the water, stabilized his emotions, and calmly asked, "What exactly happened?"

  "Meng Yao was kidnapped by a gang while preparing to drive home from an ice cream shop. By the time I wanted to go out and help, it was already too late. However, I discovered something unusual and thought I should report it to you," he said seriously.

  "Little Red, you... Ah, it was I who wronged you back then. You don't have to be so polite with me. We are..." Water Ming seemed to recall something and fell silent.

  The woman opposite was also silent for a moment, and every time she thought of this matter, her heart felt chilled.

  She used to believe that love was stronger than gold, and she made a vow to the mountains. However, in the face of benefits and family pressure, he chose to yield and leave her. Her own beliefs collapsed in an instant, so she joined the army and became a brave special forces soldier. After being discharged, she went through trials by fire and blood, and became indifferent to everything. She casually found someone to marry. Originally thinking that this was how she would spend the rest of her life, who would have thought that her husband would get into an accident and become a vegetable? For this, she spent all her savings, but in the end he still left. The man didn't leave anything for her, but left behind a heavy debt. At her most critical moment, he appeared and voluntarily paid off everything for her. She was grateful and silently took care of his beloved daughter.

  Of course, Shui Mengyao did not expect that the housekeeper who cooked for her was actually a former special forces hero.

  "Alright, Xiaohong, tell me, what is it that surprises you?" Shui Mingping calmed down and asked softly. For now, the top priority was to rescue her own daughter, as for her emotional issues, they could be discussed later.

  Sun Hong recounted what she had discovered, and Shui Ming was shocked. In her mind, the image of Guo Ming, who used to fight on the streets with a cigarette in his mouth, emerged. Could that ruffian be a master? She shook her head with a bitter smile, finally remembering a phrase: "A great hiding place is hidden in plain sight, and a small hiding place is hidden in the city." Who would have thought that useless Guo Ming would burst forth with enough power to shock everyone?

  "What should we do now?" Ming asked in the water. He had no way out of this matter.
